Lesson 1 - Send him to camp. But make sure it is an over-night, week-long camp with all his buddies, filled with energetic activities where your teenager is guaranteed a maximum of 6 hours sleep each night. Give or take.
Lesson 2 - Don't make him take a nap on Sunday afternoon to catch up on his sleep.
Lesson 3 - Give him chores to do.
Lesson 4 - Give his leftover pizza pockets, which have been sitting out on the kitchen counter for 2 1/2 hours, to his little brother.
Lesson 5 - Give the easy chores that your teenager is grumbling about to his little brother, and appoint harder chores to your teenager to do. This one was his grandfather's suggestion...to give said little brother a turn to cut the grass. I didn't want you all to think that we were giving the teenager harder chores to do...such as using the push mower...because he was grumbling about cutting the grass. But now that I think about ....
Lesson 6 - Sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

haha...I enjoyed this post....
Don't worry, once you get through this one, it will all be over.
No, wait, that's not correct. You've got 3 more teenagers coming.
Hmmm ... Good luck with that.
I for one will enjoy hearing about the fireworks.
